Resolution:
- Width: 512 - 672 for WS/letterboxed, 448 - 640 for FS

presents more pixels
- Subtitles must not be cropped
- Aspect ratio must be within 5% of the original aspect ratio.
Size:

- 35-50 min: 350 MB
- 50+ min: 700 MB
- 100+ min: 1400 MB (2 x 700MB)
- 2% under the maximum size is allowed
Packaging:
- All releases must be AVI, MP4 or MKV.
- Must be packed with RAR, no compression
- 15.000.000 bytes or 20.000.000 bytes archives
- Recovery record allowed
- Must have SFV
- Must have NFO
- NFO must include:
* Group name
* Title

* Release date
* Air date
* Video resolution
* Video bitrate
* Video length
* Audio bitrate
* Number of RARs
* Source
Credits:
- Cutting not allowed
- Downsampling not allowed
Sample:
- Required +/- 1 min
- In a seperate 'Sample' folder
- Must be taken from the released material, not encoded separately
- .ts on DSR/PDTV/HDTV sources with questionable quality
Propers:
- Only based on technical flaws, not on ripper's choice (like codec)
- Proper reason must be mentioned in the .nfo
Directory naming:
- No indication of ripping methods
- No genres or channel
- Allowed characters are a-zA-Z0-9.-_
- Session tags should be like SxxEyy, where xx is the season and yy is the episode number
- Miniseries should be tagged without seasontag, only Eyy
- Releases with more than 1 CD must be named CD1, CD2, etc.
* Each directory should contain an SFV file
* Only 1 sample
- Dutch spoken series should be tagged accordingly with the tag 'DUTCH'
- Flemish spoken series should be tagged 'FLEMISH'
- Other languages and dutch subbed should be tagged 'NLSUBBED'
- Must be tagged WS, if its letterboxed or widescreen. FS tag is not allowed.
- READ.NFO tag is allowed if an important note is included in the .nfo
Sources:
- HDTV: Digital recording from a source stream at either 1080i or 720p at a bitrate from 19,39mbps or higher
- PDTV: Other resolution digital recordings from source streams at a bitrate of 10+mbps or higher.
- DSR: Other resolution digital recordings with a bitrate lower than 10 mbps
- TVRip: Analog recordings or digital recordings that were converted from digital -> analog -> digital
( This includes DVD-recorders, boxes that have analog output, etc )
Dupes:
- FLEMISH doesn't dupe DUTCH, DUTCH doesn't dupe FLEMISH
- HDTV dupes PDTV/DSR if resolution is not HR (760+ width) or full HDTV resolution
- PDTV dupes DSR, DSR dupes PDTV
- TVRip dupes PDTV/DSR/HDTV
- FS dupes WS, WS doesn't dupe FS
- FS doesn't dupe WS if it contains more picture (use proof .jpg sample)
- Letterboxed is WS
Quality control:
- If a group releases PDTV/HDTV or DSR releases, and there are doubts if this is actually true, a
Transport Stream file (.ts) must be given by the group to prove it
